- steveklabnik 8y agoVery intriguing! I'll have to look into how this works; my understanding is that you can't do this without signing NDAs, and only distributing to people who have also signed NDAs...
- da02 8y agoSigning an NDA is required just to write apps to run on the Switch? What are your thoughts on this practice?
- steveklabnik 8y agoIt’s unfortunate but that’s the reality.
- da02 8y agoThat's messed up. Sony and Nintendo have the opportunity to build something great and useful beyond entertainment, but they always find a way to take a step-backwards in time.
- pjmlp 8y agoiOS, Android and Windows stores are the proof what happens when there isn't an high bar to quality control. The games industry learned from the 1983 crash, hence the access gates.
- jyapayne 8y agoI wrote the implementation of the Nintendo Switch support. It currently uses the publicly available open source library Libnx and Devkitpro. See https://github.com/switchbrew/libnx https://github.com/switchbrew/libnx and my wrapper around that library (it has all functions exposed using nimgen, a C wrapping library, but the Nim-friendly wrapper is a WIP) https://github.com/jyapayne/nim-libnx https://github.com/jyapayne/nim-libnx In order to use this, you must have a homebrew enabled Switch. Google is your friend!
- steveklabnik 8y ago> In order to use this, you must have a homebrew enabled Switch Ahh that’s the difference! Home brew stuff is great, but that’s different than being able to sell games.
